Abstract

We presented a case of 29 year old nulliparous woman who presented with features of polycystic ovarian syndrome. She had ovulation induction with Clomiphene citrate for nine consecutive cycles to no avail. She achieved pregnancy following Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling at the Assisted Reproductive Technology Unit of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara State, Nigeria.
